It bewildered me beyond anything I had read on math before, also because it was (and probably still is) way above my head. However, I did realize then I would need to pick only a few of the many directions surveyed there to dig deeper. It was a game changer for me, nonetheless - it was the book that made me want to work on the field I am now. | |
